Apple a pretty big deal about all the rebrands. From "System" (verions 1-7), to "Mac OS" (8 and 9), to "Mac OS X" (10.0-10.7), to "OS X" (10.8-10.12), to "macOS" (10.13+).

It was clear that the OS wasn't thought of as a separate thing in the early days. The latest one looks like a typo.

Indeed, you can see between 2011 and 2012 (for example) that Apple's PR site changed from calling it "Mac OS X" to simply calling it "OS X".

2012: https://web.archive.org/web/20111130104524/http://www.apple....

Interestingly Lion was called "Mac OS X Lion" upon release[0], but then their website[1] called it "OS X Lion" predominantly.

2012 link is the same as the 2011 link.

Woops, copy/paste struggles! Thanks, updated my 2012 link while I was still able to edit.
